Aloha Kākou –
Welcome to the Mālama Learning Center Mālama Learning Center is a non-profit organization that brings art, science, conservation, and culture together to promote sustainable living throughout Hawai‘i. We are located in West O‘ahu, in the city of Kapolei, offering our services primarily to communities from Waipahu to Wai'anae. We provide hands-on, place-based, ‘āina-based education for students, teachers, and community members, offering diverse multi-year, real-life experiences that deepen relationships and change lives as well as the environment around us. We collaborate with partners - schools, conservation organizations, community groups, businesses, volunteers and others - in all our work.
